Can we reduce Land Pollution ?

 We have been talking about pollution problems from the start.  that’s why today I decided to talk about the different solutions that have been found to reduce land pollution.  The article is good "How to prevent Land pollution" and was published on Sciencing on April 19, 2018. 

We know that pollution can be solid, liquid or in the form of gas and it deteriorates the quality and mineral content of soil.  To reduce this pollution we can start by reducing the pesticides used in particular in agriculture to feed plants in terms of calcium or phosphorus.  

They are used to make plants grow faster but they can cause problems for consumers and in particular cause health problems.  Another solution would be reforestation.  indeed we know that trees are important for our survival (biodiversity ..) by repopulating forests we can improve the ecosystem and reduce pollution in the form of gas in particular.  

Recycling is done entirely in this part and the article specifically talks about recycling materials such as plastic or clothes.  if everyone does this at home, then the planet would be better off and there would be less pollution and litter being thrown into the open.

    I think that this is a very good blog. I like how instead of talking about an environmental issue directly you talked about ways we can fix it. One thing that I did not know was that pesticides were being used so much in agriculture to feed plants. I did not realize how much it effected us.

    I really like your blog post and I think that you have selected a really interesting topic. I’ve always been curious about what people do in regards to land pollution and what we can do to reduce this issue. If people found a way to make disposable items more biodegradable, then that should minimize the amount of land pollution.

On Shaky Ground

By: Hannah Meadows The New Madrid fault line is a growing danger right under peoples feet. Most people don’t realize how catastrophic it would be if the fault line went off and the worst part… there is no telling when it will go off. Usually, earthquakes wouldn’t be an issue in places like California because all of their buildings are built to withstand earthquakes. However, the New Madrid fault line sits right along southern Missouri and Missouri is known for its sedimentary rock. This means an earthquake in Missouri would cause all buildings and houses to be buried since they aren’t built to withstand earthquakes. Now what would the statistics really look like if the New Madrid fault line were to go off unexpectedly?  84,000 buildings damaged and 37,000 more destroyed, almost entirely residences  Over 15,000 people killed and an additional 120,000 displaced Nearly 200 schools and over 100 fire stations would be damaged  37 hospitals and 67 police stations would be compl...

Energy: Hydropower Pros and Cons

Image
 Hydropower is not often talked about as a primary option for sustainable energy, however, 6.6% of energy produced in the U.S. is through hydropower, compared to solar energy which happens to only be 2.3% and is usually the first thought when someone mentions “clean energy.” The reason for this being the majority hydropower plants only give energy to large-scale, industrial operations.  Hydropower boasts a few positives that make it a viable option, those being that it is reliable, safe, and produces a very low amount of emissions. Other than that, they are fairly expensive to build, and they have a very realistic potential to cause droughts. Hydropower is an interesting source of energy and as of now it is only really used for industrial use, however in the future there is a very real possibility for it to be used to power residential areas.  https://www.solarreviews.com/blog/hydroelectric-energy-pros-and-cons#pros-and-cons

They called it a shrinking world because our technology is getting even better and better. Anyways going into the article there is a graph and a description of the burgeoning population of the globe. After it talk about this problem it gets into how this can help our food problem and how we are on our way to a new type of farming. It ends off with them giving numbers on there work with BI intelligence and how much money they made in 2020 and what they are projected to make in 2050.
